How to Sell Land.

You have ranch you want to dispose
of. 1t is larger than you want. You will
sell forty, eighty one hundred or two hun
dred acres of it, as the case may be. II is
good land. You say it will raise anything.
1t is good for fruits, vines, figs, nuts, Or
anges, etc. You places it with real estate
agent and tell him to sell it. You say there
are thousands of immigrants coming hither
from the East. They want fruit land.
You tell the real estate agent to get hold
of them and bring them here to look at
your property. He does so. They come,
look around and go away without buying.
You growl at the tenderfoot and the agent
both. The latter gets you to try your hand
at it. You meet with the same result. What
is the reason ? The would-be buyer is
after fruit land You say your land is
fruit land, but if you cannot prove it,
your statement is not satisfactory
to the average man. If you can
point to one-half acre of vineyard or
orchard that is thriving and producing
abundantly, the ocular demonstration thus
furnished is better than talk of twenty
four hours. The vines and trees are there.
The Eastern man sees that all over the
tract is the same soil, the same natural re-
sources and characteristics. His eyes hav e
satisfied him that your statements are cor
rect, tnat the lanu Will prOuuCe Hult as you
say it will. He buys; you are happy he
cultivates his ranch, and enhances the
value of the rest of the property. But if it
had not been for your little one-half acre of
vines or orchard, he never would have
made the purchase.
There are large number of people here
wanting to sell land that, as matter of
fact, is remarkably well adapted to horti-
culture and yiticulture. All that is neces-
sary to sell your land is the ocular demon
stration that few hourishing vines and
trees will afford. A word to the wise ought
to be sufficient.-C oluSa Sun.

DIGESTION OF MILK.-A writer upon the
subject of milk-drinking says: In France
as a rule milk is never consumed I'M
boiled; in Germany the contrary is the
case. Professor Reichman has determined
the relative digestibility of milk in both
these states. Unboiled new milk eoagu-
lates in the stomach five minutes after it is
swallowed in the space of four hours it is
completely digested. The digestion is pro-
duced, not by a ferment but by an aug
mentation of tactic Juice and also of muri-
attic acid. The action of these acids is at
its maximum seyenty-five minutes after
the milk descends into the stomach. Boiled
milk requires two hours and a half to be
digested"

A PAPER CHIMNEY.--A large factory of
Breslau, Germany, required a chimney
fifty-four feet in height. Instead of con-
structing the chimney with bricks, as
usual, large number OF solid blocks of
paper firmly compressed were made use of.
These blocks were placed carefully one on
the top of the other and joined together
with a special cement. The chimney is
non-inflammable, is very elastic, and is by
the nature of the material quite secure
from lightning which so often plays such
sad havoc with the more ordinary sort of
factory chimney.
